Kenya is increasingly sourcing its petroleum product needs from India as supplies from traditional Gulf sources face disruptions, potentially altering the country's fuel import landscape.

• India has become a significant supplier of petrol, diesel, jet fuel, and fuel oil, filling a gap left by a sharp decline in imports from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
• Energy CS Opiyo Wandayi has engaged with the High Commissioner of India to Kenya, Dr Adarsh Swaika, highlighting the strategic shift.
• This reorganisation of fuel sources is occurring as Aliko Dangote progresses with plans for a Ksh2.59 trillion ($20 billion) refinery and petrochemical complex in Kenya, expected to break ground in September.
